Fog lights are not aimed to the same level low beams are and in fact are aimed a lot lower, that is the idea so they illuminate under the fog without bouncing back. If you don't believe me have a look at a B series with standard adjustment and bulbs, the fog lights only illuminate 20m in front of the front bar. If they were not the light would bounce back off fog and they would be no more effective than low beam. Of course this is talking about correctly adjusted fog lights.

On a final note to this discussion .... I will bow out after this.....
So many are saying that spot/driving lights/bright blue lights are so much worse & yes I agree on that totally...... This topic is about the fog lights & this is what I am discussing. Maybe I am less light tollerant than some ..... the fact is it is illegal ........ end of story!! |

Do what I do. Grab the microphone and make comments like... #1...Tell them it's too early/late for Christmas lights. #2...Sing jingle bells. #3.. Comment that it just another case of the lights being brighter than the Driver. Do not comment if you have children in the Truck/Car with you, they might learn some new, not nice, words with the reply

The focus of the beam greatly affects the intensity of the light but there is still light emitted at other angles meaning you can see it without it adding to the intensity causing it to blind you. Some physics for you.

so fog lights are aimed at 45 degrees? they are aimed forward and alot of light is reflected up (don't deny this as this is how they are designed so you can see when there is actually fog around) especially after rain |

The reference to 45 degrees was purely to illustrate a point, not to be taken literally in reference to fog lights. Don't worry about it, you seem to have missed the point.

quote wikipedia light is like water - picture a hose spraying water onto your windscreen add another hose = more water, spray another hose at the ground in from of the car still more water as it will bounce off the road onto the windscreen So does having two hoses spraying your windscreen and two spraying in front of you (from the other car not yours) more or less water or the same? |

If a hose is not spraying in your face, can you still see the water?
